Symposium on Density Functional Theory and Applications --A Satellite Symposium of the 9th International Congress of Quantum Chemistry

理论与计算化学计划将于1997年6月3日至9日在北卡罗来纳州达勒姆的杜克大学校园举行密度泛函理论与应用卫星研讨会。紧随其后的是在乔治亚州亚特兰大举行的第九届国际量子化学大会。密度泛函理论已成为计算分子和凝聚态物质电子结构的主要理论方法。研讨会将汇集来自世界各地的理论和计算化学家，物理学家，他们处于基本形式主义发展和密度泛函理论应用的前沿。预计将有大约200名科学家参加此次会议，其中包括50名发言人。对于《美国科学》来说，特别重要的是这次研讨会的规模之大，而且它将是第一次有相当多的美国研究生和博士后可以参加的研讨会。本次研讨会由美国杜克大学杨伟教授和美国杜兰大学列维教授共同主办。

The Theoretical and Computational Chemistry Program is supporting a Satellite Symposium on Density Functional Theory and Applications which will be held from June 3-9, 1997 on the campus of Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. It is to be followed immediately by the 9th International Congress of Quantum Chemistry in Atlanta, Georgia. Density Functional Theory has become a major theoretical method for electronic structure calculations of molecules and condensed matter. The symposium will bring together theoretical and computational chemists, physicists from around the world who are on the frontier of the development of the basic formalism and applications of density functional theory. It is anticipated that approximately 200 scientists will participate in this conference including 50 speakers. What is particularly significant for US Science is the large size of the symposium and the fact that it is going to be the first one accessible to a relatively large number of US graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. This symposium is organized by Prof. W. Yang of Duke University and Prof. M. Levy of Tulane.
